Yesterday was a quintessentially Squirrel King collision of delightful elements: cotton batting bought for cushions years ago, a side table made of found windows (one of the first pieces of furniture the Trouble and Strife and I ever put together), Alien Two's hummingbirds and our bonsai Christmas tree!

All came together to create the view out Robin's bedroom window.

Alien Two was happy with what she saw so we began the zen-like stop motion. A couple of hours later, we had Robin's view of the hummingbirds.

Dear Reader,

As some of you long-time followers may recall, Dark Lightning is our black angel fish of considerable magnetism. So much so, that she's now cultivated disciples outside her domain.

Fortunately for me, I have my own aide in the form of Alien One and her clever plans. Here you see her (in funky leggings care of the Trouble and Strife) gathering materials to lure our hummingbirds back onto the set of The Squirrel King.

Sometimes there's something in the air and the best thing to do is just go with it. That something for me is scientific locomotion right now. Last week I shared the biking robot, today it's a concept airship called Air-Ray.

With our first prototype potted flower kits wending their way out into the world for our contest winners to enjoy, it's a good time to reflect on the progress we've made so far on a project that all started with a whim.

Check out the delightful path that's gotten us to where we're at by clicking the Progress tab above.
